It does not seem far-fetched the the plan would be to arrest anyone who looked vaguely non-white before they reach any swing-state polls in November. Just say it's to preserve the integrity of the vote. Just the threat of arrest would be enough to suppress it.

Install fear. Put up obstacles to vote.

Great way to lower turnout in specific areas.

Historically, this has backfired in the US because we have low turnout elections.

The people whose votes are being blocked get pissed and get off the couch on election day.

The groups that would normally support the side that’s loudly suppressing the vote lose enthusiasm, and are less likely to bother voting.

Hopefully, we’ll see the biggest example of this effect in recent memory this November.
